Welcome

My name is Wendy McCarthy and I am a Marriage and Funeral Celebrant based in the South Waikato town of Putaruru, servicing the greater Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taupo and further at your request. I have a friendly yet professional approach and I invite you to view my website to learn a little more about the services that I offer and hopefully to answer some of the questions you may have when looking for a Celebrant. You are welcome to see what others have to say about my services here.

When looking to engage a Celebrant you want someone who has ideas; someone who can offer advice from experience; and someone who possesses integrity, empathy and has a welcoming and approachable manner. Presentation is important in all walks of life, none more so than in my role as a Celebrant so I set myself high standards in appearance, speech and the written word.

It is important that you are comfortable with your chosen Celebrant so for further information, advice or assistance, I welcome your inquiry.
